Directions:
1. Layer pork chops in slow cooker.

2. Add the cream of chicken soup.
3. Top off by sprinkling the remaining dry ranch dressing all over ingredients.
4. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours OR low for 6 hours.

The pork chops come out very tender and the flavor is amazing! The results will also give a good gravy for mashed potatoes.

Directions

1. In a skillet, heat grape seed oil over medium heat and sauté onions until tender.
2. Add minced garlic and sauté for five additional minutes.
3. Transfer onion and garlic to crock pot, add remainer of main ingredients, except for the chicken, corn and navy beans. Cook on high heat for 1 1/2 hours.
4. Add chicken, corn, navy beans and cook on high heat for another 1 1/2 hours.

Directions for cheese sauce:

Into a blender, add the 1/2 c. of chicken broth, sour cream, and the 1/2 lb of mild cheddar cheese (cut cheese into slices for easier blending). Blend on high until smooth. Transfer cheese sauce from blender to a sauce pan. Add crumbled chicken bouillon cubes. Cook on medium heat while continuely stirring so that sauce does not burn or stick. Once you can see that the cheese is melted remove and set aside until needed.

Directions for tortilla topping:

This process is repeated twice. Stack 8 tortillas and cut down the middle. Stack the one half onto other half and cut those in half again. Cut remainer of stacks one more time to make narrow. Season hot frying pan lightly with grape seed oil (olive oil optional). Add the cut tortilla strips to fry pan and lightly mist spray oil over the top of the tortillas, pan fry these while flipping a couple times and lightly mist spray the cut tortillas with oil one more time. Continue flipping tortillas frequently until crispy light brown. Repeat the process for the 8 remaining tortillas. Set aside for serving.

Optional for serving, add a dolip of sour cream, pico de gallo and/or cubed avocados.
Tip for leftovers; *after serving the meal, store the fried tortilla strips in a zip lock baggie to keep crispy for additional servings the next day.
